在阿根廷春季和夏季气候条件下，对一种以草酸为基础的有机产品用于防治瓦罗亚进行了评估。该配方由四条纤维素制成，浸渍了一种以草酸为基础的溶液。使用了48个蜂箱来评估产品的效果。产品的残留物也在蜂蜜、蜜蜂和蜡中进行了测试。每个试验都有各自的对照组，没有草酸处理。在实验开始时，将四条配方应用于属于处理组的菌落。分别于第7、14、21、28、35、42天计数落叶螨数。在最后一次清点后，取下试条，菌落接受两条氟氰菊酯试条，持续45天。在这段时间里，不断下降的螨虫被计算在内。有机产品的平均有效率为93.1%，变异性低。这款产品是一种有机处理产品，专为控制幼虫孵化而设计，是合成处理的良好替代品。
An organic product based on oxalic acid was evaluated for use in Varroa control under spring/summer climatic conditions in Argentina. The formulation consists of four strips made of cellulose impregnated with a solution based on oxalid acid. Forty-eight beehives were used to assess the product efficacy. Residues of the product were also tested in honey, bees, and wax. Each trial had respective control groups without oxalic treatment. At the beginning of the experiment, four strips of the formulation were applied to the colonies belonging to the treated group. Falling mites were counted after 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 days. After the last count, the strips were removed and colonies received two flumethrin strips for 45 days. Falling mites were counted throughout this period. Average efficacy of the organic product was 93.1 % with low variability. This product is an organic treatment designed for Varroa control during brood presence and represents a good alternative to the synthetic treatments.
